No way of knowing if this movie is going to be genius, or a gigantic flop. I did laugh at the preview, but that doesn’t always mean much. “MacGruber” stars Ryan Phillippe, Val Kilmer, Will Forte and Kristin Wiig. It’s based off of the SNL skit of the same name…
Bryce Dallas Howard is bravely coming forward about her battle with postpartum depression following the birth of her first child, Theo, in 2007.
It’s brutal. I’m a total optimist and it was shocking to face that; I didn’t expect that at all,” the 28-year-old mother of one star said during a recent appearance on The View. “At first I called it postpartum denial because you’re like, ‘I just feel like a zombie,’ and then it gets worse and worse.”
The Entourage star Jeremy Piven lost the Golden Globe to Dexter’s John Lithgow last night, but he may have landed an even better prize.
Gorgeous Mad Men star January Jones, whose show won for best TV drama (see her on the red carpet), was openly flirting with the recovering sushi eater at the HBO party at Circa 55.
Later that night, they were photographed leaving Chateau Marmont arm-in-arm.
I think Jeremy Piven is slimy…you can do better January!
Unfortunately this giveaway only applies to ICYDK readers in the Portland, Oregon area…sorry!
I have 20 pairs (40 tickets!) of tickets to Harrison Ford and Brenden Fraiser’s new movie, Extraordinary Measures!! 20 pairs!!
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES - Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell star in “Extraordinary Measures” for CBS Films, the film division within CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS). The project, which wrapped principal photography in mid-June 2009, was the first film to go into production for CBS Films. Ford is also executive producer on the project. Tom Vaughan (“Starter for 10,” “What Happens in Vegas”) is directing.
In the tradition of great inspirational dramas like the Academy Award nominated film “Erin Brockovich” and “The Pursuit of Happyness,” “Extraordinary Measures” is inspired by the true story of John Crowley, a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds, and risked his family’s future to pursue a cure for his children’s life threatening disease.
From his working class roots, John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle
the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time.
But, at the last minute, when it appears that a solution has been found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test – the outcome of which will affect the fate of John’s children.

Conan O’Brien is losing “The Tonight Show” but he’ll be getting a $32.5 million consolation prize courtesy of NBC … sources tell TMZ.
In return, we’ve learned Conan has agreed to sit on the bench until September. Translation — he can’t host another show until the fall.
In addition to the $32.5 mil, we’ve learned NBC is also paying severance to Conan’s “Tonight Show” employees. In all, we’re told NBC’s payout is around $40 million.
But Conan probably won’t see close to the $32.5 mil. Under the deal, any money Conan makes during the remaining contract period with NBC will offset the network’s obligation. So, if Fox were to make a deal with Conan and pay him $25 mil during the NBC contract period, Conan would only score $7.5 mil from NBC.
One well-placed NBC source told us something surprising — looks like NBC may keep its intellectual property rights. So Conan can’t take his creations — such as Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and the Masturbating Bear — to his next gig.
We’re told the Conan/NBC deal still isn’t completely done, but it’s very close.
